Conservatism and nazism share the same core belief that their ideology is a panacea which should prevail above all others. In their respective [and diseased] minds, their ideology can do no wrong when practiced in its purist form.You actually think the party shift of the South happened at 12:43 on a Tuesday the 11th of July in 19xx?
Time doesn't work that way. When Thurmond jumped in the fall of 1964, he was doing what had been for 99 years unthinkable in the South. That took time to crack; tradition runs deep -- some were more bold than others. Thurmond had the temerity to do it because his base was so strong --- he had already won his Senate seat as a write-in after the state Democratic Party had dumped him off the ballot, so he knew party affiliation was, in his position, irrelevant. First and so far only person ever elected to the Senate as a write-in.
In other words he was so entrenched that he could do the unthinkable as a protest parting shot against LBJ's CRA that he couldn't stop that summer. LBJ had mused that the CRA would cost his party the Solid South, and Thurmond was taking steps to make that happen.
Hell, Zell Miller and Billy Graham are still Democrats to this day. It's part of a deep tradition and the South is nothing if not traditional.
By the way, national socialism (Nazism) and nationalism are not the same same thing. On the other side, national socialism is socialism. l.
LOL- National Socialism was very specifically a Nationalist movement.
On the other hand- the Nazi's were not socialists.
You keep pointing to "nationalist" while I am pointing to "socialist".
One of them is not necessarily bad, guess which one.
Well since the Nazi's were the party of rabid Nationalism.....hmmmm
Hell the Nazi's were very successful Nationalists- stirring up Nationalist sentiment against everyone who wasn't 'Aryan'- but were terrible socialists- since corporations and industrial tycoons got filthy rich- and the Nazi's jailed both socialists and communists....
Pulling it out of your ass doesn't make it true.
